October 28 was our first night sleeping in a separate room from the babies, up until then we either bed shared or they slept in their baby boxes beside a queen bed (which was set up in their room). It was time for the babies to move out of their boxes and into a bigger sleeping space. We only had one crib so they shared for the first couple of weeks. The first time we put Eileen in the big crib she rolled from side to side giggling and screeching with joy, then we split the crib in two and she looked visible unimpressed. She made it quite clear she wanted her own crib. Over the weekend we got a second crib and this week we got a second mattress. The crib is a bit damaged along the top railing so I made the covers shown in the picture. Two nights ago was their first time sleeping in separate cribs, and everything went really well. We could hear them babbling at each other through the monitor. We could also hear Ewan making spit bubbles and Eileen breathing heavily through her mouth.
Sadly I didn’t take a picture of the room before with the baby boxes and the queen bed.
Both Eileen and Ewan started napping for 2 hours at the same time! The same time! The first time it happened I stood in the living room unsure what to do with myself. Now I do dinner prep and laundry… haha the glamorous lifestyle I live!! All kidding aside I am very grateful for the little bit of solo downtime.
Lucky babes
